A medio paso de tu amor
Fito Páez Lyrics

The lyrics of Fito Paez's song "A medio paso de tu amor" describe the feeling of disconnection and confusion that arises when one starts to drift away from a loved one. The singer is leaving a place where they were with their partner and confesses that something is wrong and it could be the end of their relationship. The chorus emphasizes the sadness and disappointment felt by both parties as they are "A medio paso de tu amor" (halfway from your love) and have lost their way. The verse "Y no hay nadie en el espejo que me pueda responder / No hay nada en ningún lado y eso lo sabes muy bien" (And there's no one in the mirror who can answer me / There's nothing anywhere and you know it very well) suggests that the singer is searching for answers about what went wrong but realizes that there's no one to blame and nothing to fix. The last line of the chorus "Por eso lo que amamos lo volvemos a perder" (That's why we lose what we love) reinforces the idea that relationships can be fragile and easy to lose when both parties are not on the same page.

The second verse brings up the idea of longing and dreaming about a different reality. The line "Y cuando lima fue paris no sé si lo soñé" (When Lima became Paris, I don't know if I dreamed it) juxtaposes two different places that are usually not comparable, highlighting the feeling of disorientation and confusion in the singer's mind. The chorus repeats, with the added line "Espero que no entiendas mal, amar es amare" (I hope you don't misunderstand, to love is to love), which suggests that despite the difficulties and challenges, the singer still cares deeply for their partner. The final verse repeats the first one, bookending the song with the sense of departure and uncertainty.
